Understanding emotions

Rhea Lalla has always been a great listener. Especially when it comes to young people. Her parenting resource Build Great Minds has opened the door to new approaches in family communication.
We just received a copy of her book Feeling Your Feelings. It has warm and inviting illustrations and language that parents and children can identify with. It accompanies the SuzieQ doll, a well-crafted toy designed to Build Emotional Intelligence.
Listen to Rhea and her perspective on building a bridge between you and your child in this challenging age:

Never before has information been so abundant
yet wisdom, so elusive.

Great work Rhea!

I endorse this project as both a designer and a parent.

Book Trailer – Unventional: Ideas Too Good To Patent

by Tom Giesler

Years ago when Vectorvault was just getting started, we discovered Tom’s work. As an accomplished patent illustrator, he had already achieved a great deal of respect. Technical drawing is a specialized form of illustration that draws upon several disciplines. And Tom is very good at it.
Trust me. I’ve tried my hand at it. It can be challenging.

Big Fans

His new book looks amazing.

But it was Tom’s whimsical images that captured our attention. His artwork has shown that technical work can have personality and in the case of his new book: create smiles.

This book makes a perfect addition to any virtual bookshelf and a great gift too.

by 4 Comments

Ramayana: Divine Loophole
Artist and veteran Pixar animator Sanjay Patel lends a lush, whimsical illustration style and lighthearted voice to one of Hindu mythology’s best-loved and most enduring tales. Teeming with powerful deities, love-struck monsters, flying monkey gods, magic weapons, demon armies, and divine love, Ramayana tells the story of Rama, a god-turned-prince, and his quest to rescue his wife Sita after she is kidnapped by a demon king. This illustrated tale features over 100 colorful full-spread illustrations, a detailed pictorial glossary of the cast of characters who make up the epic tale, and sketches of the work in progress. From princesses in peril to gripping battles, scheming royals, and hordes of bloodthirsty demons, Ramayana is the ultimate adventure story presented with an unforgettably modern touch.

(vector graph book) Information is Beautiful – David McCandless

by 3 Comments


David McCandless has approached information display from a truly poetic perspective with his book “Information is Beautiful“. There was a time when a bar graph was the kind of thing that you slid across an overhead projector at a sales meeting between yawns. But today, information is the star of the show and should be presented as such. This book celebrates that.

It’s 256 pages of well thought out information visuals. Each one with it’s own personality and charm. Highly recommended for any designer with a desire to simplify their own work. I found it very inspiring.
